		<description><![CDATA[ ne breakouts are an inevitable experience for most teenagers and adults It's a universal enemy for many people, no matter what age you are, and ironically a result of growing from child to adult While it's not entirely avoidable, there are ways to reduce one's acne This widespread occurrence makes it very difficult to pinpoint the exact causes of acne, however, it is known to be a hormone related problem and is therefore more common in people with higher hormone levels The severity of acne can vary depending on the patient but left untreated it can leave nasty scars that will remain for a long period of time Many researchers and professionals worldwide have been studying and battling acne for years with no good results when it comes to a definite solution But what they contribute is great expertise, medications, tips on good hygiene, and emotional support that confirms that some acne is a normal part of life However, no matter what explanation we give to someone that is suffering from acne So consider some additional ways to limit the affect of acne in your life Primarily, take care of your body Think about your life habits like what type of food you eat, how much sleep you get, which kind of skin cleaning routine you have, etc Some factors like food are determinative in acne breakouts Consult your dermatologist or online guide for more tips but be aware that fruits and vegetables are great for more than just healthy bones and teeth - they also lead to healthy skin Also, watch your intake of sugar and manufactured products with heavy oil or fat You may also inform yourself about some products that claim to prevent or remove acne and see if any of them work for you If they don't have side effects, it may depend on your skin type the good results you obtain from them However, no matter what effect acne has on your outside appearance during your teen or adult life, only you can determine how you feel about your appearance and your looks So, do your best to prevent or reduce acne's affect on your physical appearance but don't forget to take care of your self esteem as well When choosing a skin care product, be careful about which moisturizers and cleaners you use on your skinTry to use a mild cleanser and apply it twice a day to the acne infected areas There are several specialist cleansers ideally suited to this task Once you clean your skin, moisturize with a natural product that triggers the skin healing natural process This way you will be also improving acne blemishes It's very important that you try to avoid squeezing and picking This can result in open sores that can easily become infected A bad diet is a proven factor to acne breakouts, so sticking to a well balanced diet will certainly help clear up or prevent acne Garlic and onions are an example of vegetables that help to improve skin tissueThey can be particularly helpful because these contain sulphur ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ In this article we're going to cover a little known type of fraud, though becoming more and more common and a bigger problem each year, this is diet fraud The fact is, a great number of people in the world and especially in the United States are overweight It is one of the largest growing health concerns in this country and getting worse every year Because of this problem, diet programs are everywhere Many of them like Weight Watchers have been around for a very long time and are reputable companies Unfortunately, there are a great number of diet plans out there that are flat out fraudulent in that they promote a weight loss program that doesn't work or is just plain dangerous So, how does one recognize these fraudulent diet programs? Unfortunately it is not easy to do Many of the criminals who commit this fraud do so in such a manner that their diet plan or meal looks legit Add to this the fact that they are preying on poor people who are at the end of their ropes when it comes to losing weight and it becomes very easy to get these people sucked into the fraudulent program Having said that, there are some things to look out for that may alert you to a possible fraud Many of the latest diet programs can be seen on infomercials on television One thing to watch out for is information that seems too good to be true, such as losing inches from your waistline in a matter of days Even if a program like this were to work, which is doubtful, it is dangerous to lose weight that quickly For a truly healthy diet and exercise routine you shouldn't lose more than a pound or two each week If a program says you will lose some crazy amount like 10 pounds in 10 days then most likely the program is either fraudulent or very dangerous Another thing to look out for when it comes to diet programs is the testimonials Take a look at the people on these commercials In most cases they are far from having need of a diet Many look like fashion models or paid actors and actresses Be wary of before and after photos as with today's technology it is very easy to doctor a photo Another thing to watch out for is any plan that says you can lose weight without any exercise or that you can lose weight by just putting on their special heat treated tummy trimmer or whatever nonsense they call it There is no way to lose weight in a healthy manner without proper diet and exercise Anyone who says differently is not to be trusted Mostly, use your common sense If you see a weight loss plan that looks too good to be true then most likely it is and all it is going to make you lose is the money that you spent on the plan itself Good common sense will pick out a diet scam with no trouble at all ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ When Alcoholics fall off the wagon, they usually drink themselves into unconsciousness and alienate all their friends and family When a fat person falls off, we seem to land in a place where food is served is 2 minutes or less There is no alienation, hell, we invite the family over for buffet style meals I was doing well until Friday I had a sneak peak on the scale and saw that I had already lost 25 pounds without doing any exercise All was set for a good 5 pound loss week I had even done the groceries earlier that day and bought a large variety of healthy food and sensible snacks (that I promised myself I would not eat in only one or two sittings) I did my research the night before on wwwtidingseatscom and got 4 great recipes, got a resupply of my herbal teas, and some healthy cereal Then my wife calls with some urgent errand's that just had to get done, and when I finally get home to make a delicious looking Thai chicken breast recipe, with steamed broccoli and Jasmin rice, my son reminds me that we had to leave in an hour for his school dance Now, I could have sucked it up and made some sandwiches for us, or made the dinner for my wife and I while I made him something quick I could have done a lot of things instead of picking up the phone and ordering a full serving of pork ribs and fries from the local restaurant In fact, in the 45 minutes that I waited for my order, I could have prepared and eaten the recipe I had planned for all day, but somehow my will and desire to just indulge myself was too powerful Friday should have been enough, but when it rains it pours For me, that meant quality junk food pouring down my throat in large and vast quantities Saturday was a gorge fest capped with potato chip snacks being frequently replaced at my table during a poker tournament I was participating in Sunday wasn't so bad, except for my pledge to not eat too many calories after 7pm I had gone to see http://runningscaredthemoviecom/, which I of course could not get through without my tub of buttered popcorn and glacier blue Kool-Aid (if you love the show 24 and or sleeper cell, than this is a MUST SEE movie for you) So, I was a little nervous in getting back on the scale this morning I had not seen 270 pounds or more in several weeks and it is one of those little things that I am afraid to see again I don't care if there is no physical evidence when I look at myself, those little digital bars on my scale Week 1: Net Result=0 pounds less All in all, an acceptable result considering my 2ND half binge That little scare and result should be enough to catapult me to better action this week ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Excerpt from "Healthy Sleep: A Guide To Natural Sleep Remedies!" Lavender Lavender (L angustifolia and others) is a shrubby flowering bush indigenous to the mountainous regions of the western Mediterranean and is considered have been first domesticated by the Arabians, then later spread across Europe by the Romans Lavender was brought to North America by the Pilgrims and was one of the first garden plants imported to Australia in the 19th century It can be found in abundance in the wild in many parts of the world as well as being garden grown in a sunny, well-drained area, preferably in mildly alkaline soil The smaller species will also grow quite easily in well-drained pots This popular flowering herb’s essential oil has been demonstrated to depress the central nervous system in a manner comparable to pharmaceutical tranquilizers Lavender is very useful and effective in its usage as a sleep aid In addition to the use of lavender flowers in a brewed tea, it may also used in the form of an essential oil distilled from the leaves, flowers and stems of the plant Lavender oil can be applied topically to relax the muscles or its aroma can be inhaled for a calming effect Rubbing lavender essential oil on the feet is a particularly effective method for application, as anything on the feet is absorbed quickly It is widely used in aromatherapy and can be added to bathwater, dispersed in a vaporizer or simply dabbed on a tissue and breathed in The essential oil leaves and flowers can also be employed in a sachet underneath the pillow It should be noted that allergic contact dermatitis has been documented in some individuals applying lavender products externally To safely detect an allergic reaction it is always a good idea to do a spot test before administering a full application Also note that not all varieties of lavender are tranquilizing — some, such as Spanish lavender, can have just the opposite effect Lavender Mint Tea (One serving) Ingredients: * 1 teaspoon fresh lavender flowers (or 1/2 teaspoon dried lavender flowers) * 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves (or 2 teaspoons dried mint) * 1 cup boiling water * Rosemary, lemon balm or lemon verbena, and rose geranium may also be added for an interesting multi-herb herbal tea Preparation: In a teapot or saucepan combine the lavender flowers and mint (either loose or using a tea infuser) Pour boiling water over the mixture; steep 5 minutes The infuser can then be taken out or the leaves removed with a strainer Homemade Lavender Sachet You will need: * Lavender plant (stems, leaves or buds) * Lavender essential oil * A handkerchief * 2 needles (1 large to fit 1/4" ribbon and 1 regular size) * Thread * Ribbon (1/4" wide) It should be easy to find all the necessary items listed above from your local craft or floral supply store You may use lavender harvested from your own plants or order the lavender buds online (just enter “lavender” or “lavender buds” into your favorite search engine to find an online retailer) Instructions: 1 Fold handkerchief in half, and then fold it in half again You can iron the handkerchief for a crisper look, or simply leave it as is 2 Now, sew three sides together using needle and thread (or a sewing machine) 3 Open the unsown side of the handkerchief and proceed to fill it (like a pillow) with lavender plant pieces and/or buds Be sure to use a lot of plant material, but don’t stuff it too tight The end result will be a lot like a beanbag Sprinkle the pieces with lavender essential oil 8 to 10 drops should be more than enough 4 Thread your large needle with 1/4" ribbon and loosely thread to keep the plant materials inside your homemade sachet 5 Tie the whole thing off with a knot 6 Enjoy your new sachet Valerian Root In the wild, Valerian root (Valeriana officinalis) is found in high pastures and dry heath land It flowers in late spring The principle components used for medicinal purposes are the roots and rhizomes, which are typically harvested in September and then dried to produce the commonly available herbal product Valerian is also known by various folk names: All-Heal, Amantilla, Bloody Butcher, Capon's Trailer, Cat's Valerian, English Valerian, Fragrant Valerian, Garden Heliotrope, Phu, Red Valerian, St George's Herb, Sets Wale, Set Well, and Vandal Root Unlike many other natural herbal sleep aids, to gain the benefits of the effects of valerian root it is necessary to use it on a regular basis, with the full effects coming to fruition slowly and steadily over time It should be used for about one month to produce results Regular use of valerian root promotes deep relaxation and sleep Studies suggest that valerian is by far the best natural solution for insomnia and general sleeplessness for most individuals Research by PD Leatherwood, PhD, and F Chauffard, PhD, at Nestlé Research Laboratories in Switzerland, determined that a 450 mg dose of valerian in an aqueous extract is the optimum dose as an insomnia treatment; a higher dose typically results in grogginess without increasing effectiveness, and therefore care should be taken when administering valerian as a treatment for insomnia Furthermore, in 1982 Leatherwood and colleagues performed a double-blind crossover study of 128 subjects, which found valerian root to not only be effective as a sedative for insomnia, but also effective in improving the overall quality of sleep in test subjects The effects of valerian on the body are similar to that of benzodiazepine, an active ingredient in Valium™, but without dulling effects or next-day lethargy (it has been suggested that Valium’s name was inspired by valerian, although the two are completely different chemically and should not be confused as being the same or even related) Valerian is commonly prescribed as a calming sleep aid and widely recommended for treating anxiety-related sleep problems Unlike other commonly prescribed sleep medication, it is entirely nontoxic, does not impair the ability to drive or operate heavy machinery, nor does it exaggerate the effects of alcohol It has been documented that valerian can act as a delayed stimulant for some individuals depending on body chemistry In the case of certain metabolic conditions, the effect is one of initially calming them down only to cause a surge of energy several hours later – not an effect desired by those interested in using valerian as a nighttime sleeping remedy Some professional herbalists suggest taking fresh valerian root extract as opposed to extract from dried valerian, as it is less likely to cause such a reaction http://wwwsleepsecretsinfo To Download 2 Free Chapters from "Learn While You Sleep" just send blank email to sleepexit@filmpar32com Mike Slawomir Cecotka - Publisher ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Let’s face it, getting and staying in shape can be a costly investment And, if you’re not careful, its greatest cost is the one commodity you could use the most of: time (keeping monetary costs in check is another volume, entirely) Yet, even many seasoned exercisers often have difficulty changing their bodies with regular workouts And worse, many think the more hours spent training heavily, the better the result Not true! Often this break-neck pace leads only to fatigue, burnout, and injury What most people also may not realize, there are several, easy ways to redistribute your time and create ‘smarter’ workouts These common sense, turbo-chargers cost little or no money, will help change your body in a positive way, and all without giving up a lot of time Here, I’ve given you four simple strategies that can help you turbo charge your workout (and your body), too: Warm Up and Cool Down Sufficiently In short: take 10 Strive to take 10 minutes before heavy exercise to get blood flowing with light aerobic activity (walking, or a series of slow arm and leg circles) to get the large muscle groups moving and prevent injury At the end of your workout, try to opt for 10 minutes of light stretching, aiming at the major muscle groups: arms, back, chest, and legs This will help re-absorb lactic acid (metabolic waste that builds up during exercise and can lead to soreness) Drink More Water Just eight-8oz glasses of water per day will carry away waste and toxins from your body It will also help keep you cool during exercise and replace the fluids lost during your workout (you will usually lose 1 liter per 1-hour workout) Get Adequate Rest The body requires a sufficient amount of sleep for rest and tissue repair (usually around 7-8 hours per night for the healthy person) Sleep also provides the body time to lower levels of bacteria in the body It actually stimulates the immune system! If you can’t get your eight hours, try to take a quick 10-20 minute power nap sometime during the day Go Easy on the Starchy Carbs Try to “balance” starchy carbs (cereals, breads, white potatoes, rice) with protein and veggie alternatives My own personal case study: Even though I’d been exercising for years, I couldn’t shake the extra 10 pounds I’d gained in college I exercised for about an hour every day rotating my routine between cardio and resistance training Did I need to exercise more? ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Last Friday was National Wear Red Day, an intentional opportunity to wear a red dress as a symbol of awareness of the fact that heart disease is the number one killer of women in America I didn't wear a red dress, but I did get my very first electrocardiogram I wish I could say that I had planned it that way The truth is that I was experiencing chest pain, a terrible squeezing sensation in my left shoulder and left arm, and an alarming tingling running up my neck I headed into Urgent Care The next few days brought a series of tests involving all kinds of electrodes, ultrasounds, and my personal favorite, running on the treadmill I'm still waiting for the results I'm a 43-year-old woman, fit and active, with low blood pressure, a stupendously healthy diet, and zero history of cardiac problems in my family I've never smoked, I drink a small glass of wine most evenings, I have low cholesterol, and I've been meditating for over twenty years You'd be hard pressed to find a woman with a lower degree of risk for any kind of heart disease Yet, here I am, hanging out in the cardiologist's office with a bunch of 75-year-olds My doctor is my stepfather's cardiologist I know he's good because he has done about a dozen surgeries and procedures to keep my stepfather alive and kicking over the last 20 years Dr Toren is a great guy Still, I never quite imagined I would need to visit him myself It's been rather disconcerting, to say the least But it's also given me an opportunity to think about my heart in a whole new way I am appreciating this fantastic organ and its ability to beat over a billion times in an average lifetime without (much) assistance Like most healthy people, I've taken it for granted I've allowed it to go about its work, and only in rare circumstances when it decided to pound--middle school crush walking past me, parachute not opening fully while skydiving, snatching children out of harm's way--did I ever really pay attention to it Poor heart So unappreciated Not anymore In the last few days, I have felt every beat of my heart I note the blood coursing through my arteries with every pulse Becoming hyperaware of my heart's magnificence has resulted in an indescribable sense of awe I've been greatly humbled I'd always sort of figured that I was in control of my body I've been certified as a personal fitness trainer, and I know a lot about how to change your shape or size or strength through exercise I've been healthy enough to actually think that I was the one in charge How ridiculous of me to believe that my body will do exactly what I want it to It's been running the show since before I was born Anyone suffering from any kind of illness, injury or decreased ability already knows this I am guilty of ignoring my body on the most important level--recognizing its power over me In my continuing effort to connect body, mind and spirit, I've forgotten that the three don't always share equal billing Empedocles, a philosopher and scientist who lived in Sicily in the 400s BC, was the first to state in any sort of medical way that the heart was the origin of human emotions I guess we're supposed to believe, based on current research, that this is completely inaccurate Our emotions are actually connected to our brains But really, it just isn't as satisfying to think of love as being a head thing Our hearts seem more poetic, more romantic, more likely to be swept away by the sheer force of nature that is love We understand what it means and how it feels to be brokenhearted We feel an ache in our hearts in quite a literal way A headache is nothing like a heartache We use a lot of language that calls attention to this link between our hearts and all that is good, true, beautiful, and just Whether we're listening to our heart, opening our heart, connecting to our heart, trusting our heart, or simply living to our heart's content, we regard it as the seat of the soul and the source of tremendous compassion and tenderness Women are supposed to have a pretty good handle on all this, and that's why I believe that we haven't really considered women as being susceptible to heart disease We're great at picking up on the importance of being aware of breast cancer, but when it comes to the heart, we want to believe that we are somehow protected from what we have come to think of as the stressed-out man's disease Or the fat person's disease Or the don't-pay-any-attention-to-your-health disease We hope that by simply being aware of our emotions, our habits and their effect on our bodies that we're somehow immune I guess what I'm trying to say is this: if you have a heart, then you are at risk It's that simple It's terribly important to do all the right things, but even then, you've still got this ticker that needs tending You need to know your risks, and you know to know how to reduce them I'm not sure what I'm going to learn about my heart when all is said and done, but I've already learned an extremely valuable lesson My heart may be open, it may be full of love, but that doesn't mean it's perfect I'm hoping for some seriously good news for Valentine's Day this year I'll be waiting, and wearing red About The Author Maya Talisman Frost is a mind masseuse Her work has inspired thinkers in over 80 countries She serves up a
